Not while the new dukes of the internet wielding massive armies of hijacked smart TVs have a better time browsing the web than I have; as a mere peasant with just a few IP addresses. There would be no reason to sign up and pay up for bulk a

Speculation, no insider info: Its one more thing that needs to be sent out to all their proxies, and could be a reason for meaningfully different metrics whenever the (non-time-critical) regular updates fail. The more configuration/sta

What is the difference between making sure an HTTPs endpoint does not leak and making sure an IMAPs endpoint does not leak? I do not see much of a fundamental difference. Except, it makes the user experience worse: I can certainly make it i

Public key encryption as in DANE already achieves what can be achieved given the constraints. I have seen some purpose-built apps that use email for auth and then establish a different channel to exchange the documents. But that just nets t

The uniformed woman with the pistol is whatever the stitching on the chest pocket say she is. Is that not true just the same even in places where other people may routinely open-carry?

If it does not happen quickly, then the result might end up similar to data privacy topics. If you can afford to keep fines in litigation/appeals/formal-defect limbo for a sufficient number of years, you can grow out of even once-

I guess when discussing the reasons for the law failing to bring about the intended changes, we only need to agree on that the law did not intend to make this distinction (though it definitely could have made them, even before LLM this was

Sending money to the intermediary is still essentially free. The likely incorrect assumption here is rather: that it would do any good in this case. Because that only works when the intermediary has agreed to do anything other than facilita

RBOS is short for Royal Bank of Scotland. When accepting SEPA credit transfer (though they are not legally mandated to offer the instant execution variant), I don't think there is even a mechanism to sneak in extra fees, beyond what th

I might have believe this story, if not at the same time Intel had made an expensive bet on producing not-quite-gaming cards, later looked at the same trillion dollar question.. and then almost decided that this did not bring enough luck to
